Facts

The claimant brought claims for unfair dismissal, disability discrimination and whistleblowing against Shaw Trust Limited and two individual respondents. The claim was filed on 6 July 2024. The claimant failed to attend a preliminary hearing on 29 November 2024 and did not comply with any directions made by Employment Judge Camp at that hearing. On 12 March 2025, the claimant again failed to attend the scheduled hearing despite tribunal attempts to contact her.

Decision

The tribunal dismissed all claims under rule 47 of the Employment Rules of Procedure 2024 for non-pursuit. The claimant's repeated non-attendance at hearings and failure to comply with tribunal directions demonstrated she was not actively pursuing her claims.

Practical note

Claimants must attend scheduled hearings and comply with tribunal directions or risk having their claims struck out for non-pursuit under rule 47.
